Harris Fantasy Football Podcast

What's next for the Ravens post-Lamar? How did the Cowboys lose that game? Are the Vikings doomed at 6-1 because of Kyler Murray? We have so much Week 8 football to talk about...so let's talk about it! We've watched eight of the Sunday games all the way through, we'll tell you what we think we saw, and hopefully use the information to go beyond the box score (and the "analytics") to make your actual fantasy football team better! Guest: Jeff Erickson from Rotowire.

We'll give out our Midseason Huggy & Baggy Awards today, plus we'll review the Panthers/Packers Thursday night tilt and touch on the injury news we'll be tracking over the weekend.

Let's get ready for Week 8! We're picking out five players we're not sure what to do with in fantasy football lineups for this weekend -- start/sit guys who could wind up at your flex or on your bench. We're also doing a deep dive into the film of second-year Bears wide receiver Luther Burden to see what he looks like in a successful season so far. And we'll pick some lineups for DraftKings DFS. It's a packed show! Enjoy! Guests: Denny Carter of Rotoworld and DFS Expert Jake Trowbridge.

Saquon Barkley seems destined to join many other injured Eagles on your fantasy bench, while the Cowboys -- emotionally fragile as they are -- scored like crazy on Monday night. On today's pod, we'll review the rest of the Week 7 game film to go beyond the box score and make you smarter! Then it's time to spin it forward and think about Week 8, and that begins with a Waiver Wire with some intriguing wide receiver names on it, and some lottery ticket running backs you need! Guest: Brandon Funston of The Athletic.

Sunday's most impressive quarterback performance might've been...J.J. McCarthy??? It's arguable! Our Week 7 game film breakdowns begin today, and McCarthy was just terrific for the Giants: we'll talk about what we saw in that overtime win over the Texans, and in seven *other* games that played out on Sunday. How did Josh Jacobs look in his return? What can you take away from the Bucs' offensive explosion? Did Bo Nix cure what ails him? We'll discuss those games and many more to make those fantasy football teams better! Guest: Jamey Eisenberg from CBS Fantasy.
